Every window installation includes professional measurement, custom ordering, complete installation, and thorough cleanup. We handle permits when needed and ensure all work meets local building codes.
In Elwood’s climate, proper installation is critical. We use advanced sealing techniques to prevent air leaks and moisture intrusion. Your windows get weatherstripped correctly, caulked professionally, and tested thoroughly before we leave.
We install vinyl, fiberglass, and composite windows from trusted manufacturers. Each installation includes proper flashing, insulation, and trim work. You also get detailed care instructions and warranty information for every component we install.
Most Elwood window installation projects take one to two days, depending on the number of windows and any complications we encounter. For a typical home with 10-15 windows, plan on one full day of installation.
We start early and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Each window takes about 30-45 minutes to install properly, including removal of the old window, preparation of the opening, and complete installation of the new unit.
Weather can affect timing, especially during Long Island’s winter months. We’ll always communicate any schedule changes well in advance and work with you to find the best installation dates.
Vinyl windows perform exceptionally well in Long Island’s climate because they don’t expand and contract like wood, and they resist moisture damage from coastal humidity. They also provide excellent energy efficiency, which matters when you’re dealing with hot summers and cold winters.
For Elwood homes, we typically recommend double-pane or triple-pane windows with Low-E coatings. These features reduce heat transfer and help maintain consistent indoor temperatures year-round. The Low-E coating also protects your furniture and flooring from UV damage.
Fiberglass windows are another excellent choice for Long Island homes. They’re extremely durable, energy-efficient, and can withstand the temperature fluctuations common in this area without warping or cracking.
Yes, quality window replacement typically reduces energy costs by 15-25% in Long Island homes, especially if you’re replacing windows that are 15-20 years old. The savings come from improved insulation, reduced air leakage, and better temperature control.
Elwood homeowners often see the biggest savings during peak summer and winter months when HVAC systems work hardest. New windows reduce the load on your heating and cooling equipment, which means lower utility bills and less wear on your HVAC system.
The exact savings depend on your current windows’ condition, your home’s size, and your energy usage patterns. Most homeowners recover their investment through energy savings within 8-12 years, while also enjoying improved comfort immediately.
We can install windows during mild winter days, but timing and weather conditions are crucial. We monitor forecasts carefully and only schedule winter installations when temperatures are reasonable and conditions are dry.
During winter installation, we work quickly to minimize heat loss and protect your home’s interior. We use temporary coverings and work room by room to maintain comfort. Most winter installations are completed without significant temperature drops inside your home.
If weather conditions aren’t suitable, we’ll reschedule rather than compromise the quality of installation. Proper installation is more important than rushing to meet a deadline, especially during Long Island’s unpredictable winter weather.
Our window installations include both manufacturer warranties on the windows themselves and our labor warranty on the installation work. Most quality window manufacturers provide 10-20 year warranties on their products, covering defects and performance issues.
Our installation warranty covers workmanship for a minimum of two years, including any issues related to proper sealing, alignment, or operation. If problems arise from our installation work, we return to fix them at no charge.
We also provide detailed warranty documentation for every component installed, including windows, hardware, weatherstripping, and trim. This documentation is important for future service needs and home sale situations.
Several signs indicate it’s time for window replacement in Elwood homes. Visible damage like cracked glass, rotted frames, or broken hardware are obvious indicators. But subtle signs are often more important – drafts, condensation between panes, or difficulty opening and closing windows.
Energy efficiency problems are another major indicator. If you notice temperature variations near windows, higher energy bills, or your HVAC system running constantly, your windows may be the culprit. Windows over 15-20 years old often develop these issues.
We provide free assessments to evaluate your current windows’ condition and performance. During this evaluation, we check for air leaks, examine frame condition, test operation, and assess energy efficiency to give you a complete picture of your windows’ status.
